I have always love Will Rogers quotes on life, human nature, politics and wisdom. This internationally-known American cowboy, actor, comedian and social commentor had been entertaining folks wih his movies, syndicated newspaper column and his radio appearances back in the 20s and 30s.

According to Wikipedia, William Penn Adair Rogers or aka Will Rogers was famous for his use of language. He utilized the latest slang and coming up with new words to fit his needs. Mr Roger also made use of puns and terms which closely linked him to the cowboy tradition, as well as speech patterns using a southern dialect.

Will Rogers’ political commentaries, quotes about life and witty sayings are still relevant to politics today. He was tragically killed in a plane crash in 1935 at the age of 55.

One of Will Rogers’ famous hilarious quote:”I am not a member of an organized political party. I am a Democrat.”
